Good morning. I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving, or if you don’t celebrate, long weekend, or if you had to work, a good time at work.

We’d be better off if Trump had been re-elected.
Every Republican Lawmaker You Know after being asked about Trump recruiting an actual Nazi youth group to support his 2024 campaign:
“I’m sorry. Who? I don’t think I know that guy. But anyway, I moved to Bigotsville and bought a house on Bigot Drive and joined the local Bigot Association and the Society For Advancement Of Bigots and put out a lawn jockey and now I have to ask where did all these bigots come from it’s weird.”
The only thing less relevant than Goldy is Goldy minus his Twitter platform.
The only thing less relevant than Goldy is a weak troll whose new safe space is talking about….Goldy.
@1 Thank you for raising the IQ of trolling on this blog.
Something Democrats need to understand and prepare for is that Trump and his supporters are really not interested in debating any of the claims they make. And they certainly won’t do so in anything like good faith, if they even bother to at all.
What they are going to do is just keep right on making bizarre, hateful, divisive, and false claims about anything they can to scare and intimidate voters. They’ll make them often, and loudly, and they’ll gravitate those claims to whatever forums are most effective at tolerating and amplifying those crazy, false claims. Even if that comes in the form of opponents repeating the claims in order to debate them.
They don’t give a fuck. It’s just about volume and quantity. Because they aren’t hoping to change minds here. They are hoping to motivate already changed minds. Trump needs to transform the primary electorate in enough of the right states just like he did in 2016. That’s his plan. And to do that he’s intending to stir up as many crazy, violent bigots as he can. He will foment street violence if it helps frighten voters. He’ll call for more guns, and more gun violence if he thinks that will work. And yes, of course he’ll welcome bigots, Nazis, anti-Semites, Covid Con-men, racists, gay-bashers, pedophiles, terrorists, and any other sort of extremist to his campaign if he thinks that doing so will scare voters. Fear and hatred are the point. The only point.
So think twice before you agree to debate these assholes about this stuff. There’s a pretty good chance that by doing so you’ll be amplifying their messages of fear and hate to the audience of disturbed mentally damaged people they are hoping to bring into the streets in the next year or so. Don’t amplify their claims.
Mock them. Find a way to illustrate how pitifully ridiculous and stupid their claims are. Make them own the stupid by emphasizing how fake all of this really is.

Fair warning: “Basket of deplorables” has already been used. So come up with something a little different.
Like a Supreme Court justice who attended law school at Notre Dame.
Trump recruiting a Nazi youth group to his campaign and Kevin McCarthy staying silent about it is a big tell.
The transformation of the Freedumb Caucus into a Trump-aligned America Frist Caucus took place gradually throughout the Trump presidency. But it was a process that Trump worked hard to complete. And the America First/Freedumb Caucus is a pro-fascism, pro-authoritarian wing of the Republican Party.
So it’s maybe no wonder that the only thing conservatives have to talk about anymore is whoever it is they hate at the moment.
It’s all they’ve got now.
They gave everything else away, for Trump of all things.
Unlike Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, QoS McHillbilly can afford to purchase Dow Jones publishing products @ 6 on the day they are released.

Rep. Adam Schiff gave a masterclass on what I’m talking about @6 yesterday. Kevin has threatened to remove Schiff from House Intel for hurting Trump’s and Putin’s FEELINGS by saying mean things about them. Yesterday Schiff’s response was sufficiently burn-worthy to get a write-up in The Hill:
“McCarthy’s problem is not with what I have said about Russia. McCarthy’s problem is, he can’t get to 218 without Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar and Matt Gaetz.”
https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/3751782-schiff-knocks-mccarthys-threat-of-removal-from-intelligence-committee/
Schiff didn’t relitigate Trump’s groveling obedience to Russia or debate what was said four years ago. He left Kevin trembling in a roadside ditch with his pants around his ankles and his thumb in his mouth.

There’s no telling what part of himself Kevin will have to turn over to “The Sisters” in order to gain the gavel. But that’s not really the point. The point is that Keven will. Kevin will suck a mile of America First dick and swallow every drop for that gavel.
Because he has to.
People fall in line when they need to fall in line.
And nobody in the modern history of Congress has shown more talent for “falling in line” than Kevin. He falls in line. He falls to his knees. And he opens wide.
And the best part of knowing all this in advance is that we also know that it won’t do him any good over the long run. Trump and his America First caucus will betray him in the end, one way or the other. It’s only a matter of time.

IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT
ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION
We have just received reports from credible sources that a possible FIRST Republican member of the Senate has gently criticized Donald J. Trump, using his name and everything, for arranging, hosting, and attending a dinner meeting to recruit the support of a Nazi youth group leader.
There has been no further word from any other member of the Senate nor the Senate leadership about this stunning development in which a Republican criticized and denounced Nasism. Concerned chin rubbing, etc.
MY PILLOW Crackhead guy just announced that he’s challenging Ronna McDaniel for RNC Chair.
We are all truly blessed with wondrous gifts.

@31 Thanks for confirming what we all suspected.
@33 I think you’re giving the GOP voters whom Warnock would need to win by 7 too much credit. You’re assuming some of them won’t vote for a hypocritical adulterer who pays for his mistresses’ abortions and lies about it. You’re wrong. They’ll vote for him because they’re no better than he is.
@35 Damn near did thanks to your party’s unrelenting efforts to scour the earth for the worst candidates they could find.

49)I’ve seen a few suggest nationalization of the main lines, just the infrastructure. Might actually free the freight railroads of some maintenance obligations. Although when the short-lived United States Railroad Administration was deciding what to do with the mess of Northeast freight railroads in the 70s, and Congress while debating the Staggers Act, the drawbacks of Full Nationalization were actually discussed. One was political interference by politicians. Tge USRA had a limited mandate, but developing what became Conrail, they were told to ignore congressmembers, especially ones affected by potential abandonments.

The ultimate decision to indict is one that is made independently by a panel of citizen jurors. Trump’s is another made for tv argument like his entire defense. Almost nothing Trump has offered by way of defense should even be allowed to be introduced in front of a jury. With perhaps the exception of all the stupidly incriminating statements against self interest.
If anything, Trump’s sparkle-magic strip mall lawyers could even face bar sanctions if they claim the Special Counsel is acting with bias and they can’t back it up with actual evidence. It certainly isn’t the first time a mob shithead threatened a prosecutor’s family. U.S. Marshall service can handle it.

Pelosi underwent similar after the House results in 2020 were an underperformance relative to the rest of the federal results.

Arizona Democrats are suing Cochise County Republicans for refusing to count their county’s votes. It’s a deep red county. Not counting those votes would probably flip a House seat to the Ds.

@75 Walker is a shitty person without being elected, and there’s no reason to believe he’d improve by being elected, so why elect him?
@79 If 13 of the 31 Republicans who voted against McCarthy in caucus vote “present,” and no more Democrats drop dead or are absent for other reasons, the speaker will be a Democrat by a vote of 212-211.
I doubt there are that many Republican House members who are actually that stupid on every day of the week, but you never can tell, just as you can’t tell whether stupid Arizona Republicans will gift a GOP seat to the Democrats, because GOP stupidity is unpredictable.
@80 “No need. Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s down 30% on his Citigroup purchase, tho.”
True. And thanks to Citigroup, I won’t have to pay taxes on the Exxon gains I’m cashing in. I’ll still own Citigroup, just not the same shares.
@84 I’m not down on my investments. I have positive gains for 2022, even without dividends, which I suspect the Dumbfuck can’t say. He tells us he leverages his bets. That multiplies gains, but also multiplies losses.
Some people come home from the horse track and tell you how much they won, but won’t tell you how much they lost. As of today, my stocks are up 2.8% for the year, including losers. The Dumbfuck won’t tell us his results, or even whether he’s up or down. Draw your own conclusions.
Like all investors, I recycled cash into stocks during a period of time when the Fed was inflating stock prices. But I didn’t buy inflated stocks on margin. Now, like other investors, after milking those stocks for dividend income, I’m recycling them into tax offsets. Needless to say, the only investors who need tax offsets are those with gains on other stocks. I need tax offsets.
@85 The Vicious Troll through natural processes has corroded into the Bitter Troll.
@86 Not probably, would. The GOP candidate has a 5,232-vote lead and his Cochise County margin is 13,775 votes.

@91 That’s less than I make without working. If that’s all they make, they should quit and become capitalists like me. Then they wouldn’t have to strike for sick leave and time off to see their kids.
@93 He’s all for the Freedom Caucus blockading McCarthy. They can’t elect a speaker of their own. This is how the sanity caucus (Democrats + Republican moderates) elect a speaker.
@97 So now you get your intellectual inspiration from Kyle Rittenhouse?
